Disciplines (DiRT 3)

Altogether, there are six different game modes in DiRT 3. Rally, Rallycross, Trailblazer, Landrush and Head 2 Head are carried over from Colin McRae: DiRT 2, with Gymkhana being the new mode for DiRT 3.

The new mode for DiRT 3. Made famous by Ken Block's YouTube videos, drivers must pull off a variety of tricks for the crowd, such as donuts, drifts, spins, smashing polystyrene blocks, and jumps. It is a judged event, and there is no start/finish line. The driver with the highest number of points wins.

A bigger, tougher, nastier version of Rallycross. Tracks feature deep water, banked curves and jumps. Drivers race in identical Trucks or Buggies. Be careful, as the Trucks are prone to rolling over when on two wheels.

Effectively a circuit race for the Rally-class cars. Instead of racing together, complex 'crossover' circuits are used, so drivers cover the same amount of tarmac before crossing the line. Co-drivers feature in these events, reading pace notes.
